Got given an old GT Tempest from my brother;it's been sitting in his shed for years. It's a 7005 alu frame with stx fr/rear mechs,stx rc brakes (canti) and rock shox indy s front forks. The decals (what's left of them) are yellow purple and black and I'd like to know what year it is. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Shimano parts have manufacting dates stamped on them.Date Codes these were the first ones to come up on Google no idea if they are the correct ones.Also stems, bars seat posts etc can have dates on them.A picture helps

Thanks everyone for your input. The frame and forks are definitely 98 but the original forks were cro mo. It's in a bit of an uncared for state but every thing works ok.I'm going to clean it up and get into some open trail riding; Should be interesting as I've only been a roadie up until now.
